Photo-Worthy Mountain Escapes

Posted on January 10, 2019September 30, 2024 by Brittany Johnson

There’s a moment that comes between hopping off the ski lift and slaloming to the base of the run: a moment of awe. But it’s important to remember that elation comes at every elevation. Here, mountain insiders share their favourite photogenic après-ski delights to top off finding scenic slopes.

Connect With Loved Ones in Whistler, British Columbia

Thanks to its architecture, inspired by Alpine lodges in Europe, Four Seasons Resort and Residences Whistler is photogenic itself. But for Executive Chef Eren Guryel, there’s another sight worth snapping: the Resort’s vintage camper. “There really isn’t anything like fondue and fresh, steaming bread at the camper for après-ski,” he says. “It just warms the soul.”

His must-order drink? Tipsy Snowman, the Resort’s signature hot chocolate that’s destined for social media fame. Grab some roasting sticks, make s’mores and talk about your day exploring the unforgettable sights of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains.

Cosy Up at The Handle Bar in Jackson Hole, Wyoming

“No matter how you spend your day, Instagrammable cocktails and elk chilli and Cotija cheese nachos at The Handle Bar is a great way to round it out,” says Hope Maloney, Chef Concierge at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole and a member of Les Clefs d’Or USA.

The beer hall attracts Jackson locals to warm up with curated whiskeys and unmissable desserts like orange pound cake topped with roasted strawberries, mascarpone ice cream and Grand Marnier.

Stop by a Slopeside Legend in Megève, France

Skiers have long been drawn to this corner of France for its postcard views of 4,800-metre-high (15,700-foot) Mont Blanc. (And, yes, the skiing.) But you can also warm your snow-dusted toes at Ideal 1850, a ski-in, ski-out restaurant at 1,850 metres (6,070 feet). The Chef Concierge at Four Seasons Hotel Megève recommends tucking into a truffle pizza accompanied by your panoramic mountain view.

After lunch, take the ski lift, follow the Mandarines slopes for a few metres and turn quickly to your right, heading towards the fir trees. You’ll arrive at the top of the Slalom slope, where a sense of wonder will rush through you as you see this view over the village of Megève, the entire valley and Mont d’Arbois. The natural contrast of colours is breathtaking.

Achieve a Rocky Mountain High in Vail, Colorado

For a photo-worthy après-ski experience, bartender (and Vail native) Harrison Brown naturally advises guests of Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail to head directly to his watering hole, the aptly named Remedy Bar.

“We have several firepits on our terrace that overlook Vail Mountain’s Bear Tree run,” he says. Your drink order: Brown’s own creation, the Stallion, whose ingredients include Breckenridge Bourbon, Contratto Aperitif, Kahlúa and Luxardo maraschino cherries, topped with stout foam. “The sophisticated cocktail pairs nicely with our chef’s Signature ‘Grilled Cheese,’ which is made with foie gras butter, taleggio, warm honey and herbes de Provence.”

Find Desert Delights in Santa Fe, New Mexico

“Santa Fe’s views are truly distinctive and offer sweeping, uninterrupted views of diverse terrain showcasing vast, beautiful high desert landscapes,” says Justin Bobb, an expert skier, snowboarder and guide at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe.

For a prime panorama, you don’t have to go far. Join the locals for drinks by the patio firepit of Terra Bar, or, in an impressive après power move, ask the Resort’s Après Butler to light your Casita fireplace and arrange restorative nibbles, plus a cocktail kit (the Santa Fe Mule is a favourite, made with Santa Fe Spirits Expedition Vodka), to enjoy in the comfort of your room.

Sommelier Cheat Sheet: A Toast to Pét-Nat and Other Under-the-Radar Wines

Posted on December 6, 2018June 3, 2025 by Chantal Martineau

Champagne may be the world’s most famous sparkling wine, but it wasn’t the first. Long before the meticulous blending and ageing of méthode champenoise, winemakers were using the méthode ancestrale to make naturally effervescent wines known in France as pétillant naturel or, colloquially, pét-nat. These fresh and unpretentious sparklers are now made across the winemaking world, from France’s Loire Valley to New York’s Finger Lakes, from Spain to Sonoma – and from just about every grape.

It should come as no surprise then that they’ve gained a cult-like following among adventurous wine lovers for their fruit-forward profiles, gentle carbonation, easy-drinking style and sense of small-batch “discovery.” Here, Four Seasons’ own sommeliers tell us why they love pét-nat – and the other wines they reach for at Christmas, New Year’s and beyond.

Palm Beach: Jessica Altieri’s Cheat Sheet

Newly reopened after a major renovation by designer Martin Brudnizki, Four Seasons Resort Palm Beach is more than just a place to see and be seen – it’s a oenophile’s dream. Enter sommelier, Instagram influencer and wine podcaster Jessica Altieri, who’ll be serving up plenty of pét-nats at the Resort’s new restaurant, Florie’s, in partnership with Michelin-starred Argentine chef Mauro Colagreco. “Pét-nat is a product of the easiest method by which to get bubbles into a wine, and it was the first way sparkling wine was produced – hence the name méthode ancestrale,” says Altieri, who loves sourcing effervescent Mauzac pét-nats from Limoux and Gaillac in the south of France, as well as crisp whites from the Loire Valley. “I like to call it Champagne’s hip younger sibling; it’s ideal with creamy cheeses like chèvre or a scrumptious charcuterie board.”

As the winter holidays approach, Altieri also recommends a lesser-known wine: Gemischter Satz from Viennese winemaker Fritz Wieninger, whose 128 acres (52 hectares) are run by 10 members of his family. “Vienna is the only metropolis worldwide with extensive wine-growing areas and vineyards within the city boundaries,” she says. The Viennese wine tradition is as old as the city itself, with the first recorded vineyards dating back to 1132. “In 18th-century Vienna, under the reign of Maria Theresia and her son Josef II, wine growing was heavily encouraged, with huge wine cellars running underneath the inner city.”

The Gemischter Satz is “perfect for New Year’s Eve,” and usually shared in Austrian heurigen (wine taverns) at celebratory moments. “A pairing to complement the brightness of this wine would be some grilled pork sausage and traditional Austrian cold cuts,” Altieri says. “I will never forget how it refreshed my palate after each bite while sitting with Fritz Wieninger in the vineyard.”

Jackson Hole: Anthony Puccia’s Cheat Sheet

“Some of the best things in the wine world are also the simplest,” says Anthony Puccia, sommelier at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. “That’s why I love pét-nat. The alcohol content is a little bit lower, and they always have a bit of nice sediment because they’re made using the oldest sparkling wine method in the world.” Puccia, a former Alaskan heli-ski guide and cellar master at Jackson Hole Winery, says the Resort will begin serving pét-nat soon. At the moment, he recommends the Sparkling Pinot Meunier from Donkey & Goat, made with grapes from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma. The urban winery in Berkeley, California, is “at the forefront of the pét-nat movement,” he says.

Another of Puccia’s favourite wines for the holiday season is equally unexpected. “We just started sourcing Arnot-Roberts El Dorado Gamay Noir, and I could not be happier,” he says – high praise from someone who’s gone on tasting trips to France every year for more than a decade. “Arnot-Roberts makes some of the best cult wines in California, and this particular one is big, beautiful and juicy – such a refreshing pairing with holiday meals.” The next time you find yourself in Jackson Hole, try it with raclette cheese and alpine charcuterie – “It’s perfect with lighter game meats” – in the slope-side Ascent Lounge, where a wood-burning fire casts a warm glow.

Toronto: Jeremy Geyer’s Cheat Sheet

“We usually feature at least one pét-nat, and currently we have Xarel-lo from Spain and Loureiro from Portugal,” says Jeremy Geyer, sommelier and General Manager of Café Boulud and d|bar at Four Seasons Hotel Toronto. He recommends pairing that pét-nat with seafood, and one dish in particular: “At Café Boulud we feature a plateau de mer of poached white shrimp and oysters that all do very well with the high natural acidity, minerality and effervescence in these wines.”

For the festive season, Geyer covets one glass above all others – especially if roast turkey is on the menu: “When it comes to traditional holiday meals, it’s hard to stray from Beaujolais red, particularly the wines from the 10 crus. This year I recommend focusing on the 2015 and 2014 vintages, both of which produced spectacular reds with incredible balance and structure. These wines work very well with turkey and poultry, and have the right mouthfeel to pair with their usual accompaniments.”

Teach Your Kids the Art of the Getaway

Posted on August 14, 2018June 3, 2025 by Brittany Johnson

Summer may be drawing to a close, but there’s still plenty of extracurricular learning to be had. Teach your kids how to make the most of the new season with an American road trip, an urban retreat or a breather in cowboy country. Read on for four easy escapes that pair adventure with our exceptional service.

Drive Along the East Coast

Get behind the wheel for a road trip, full of history and fun, that links two U.S. East Coast cities – Washington, DC and New York. Your family journey begins in the nation’s capital, where the staff of Four Seasons Hotel Washington, DC, greets young guests with in-room amenities such as kid-size robes and slippers.

A trip to the U.S. capital is a vivid lesson for every school-age kid. There are countless museums to suit every child’s interest, such as the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, The National Air and Space Museum, and The International Spy Museum. The Hotel can also book a private tour for you around historical sites like the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial.

After a day packed with exploring, the team at the Hotel welcomes you and your family back with more fun. “Seeing the smile on a kid’s face as I wheel out our little red wagon filled with games, treats and toys makes my day, every single time,” says Guest Relations Manager Colin Moneymaker. “Between our life-size chessboard in the garden to our mural painting workshops at brunch, I have so much fun showing off all that there is to do for kids at our property.”

Consider a coastal detour on your way to New York City. Seafood restaurants, laid-back beaches and iconic lighthouses punctuate the drive if you go by way of Annapolis and Kent Island, Maryland, and cut through Delaware.

Once in the Big Apple, check into Four Seasons Hotel New York Downtown, a block from City Hall Park. Tickets for a ferry ride around the Statue of Liberty can be waiting for your arrival. Explore the nearby Oculus (aka Westfield World Trade Center), the elegant transportation and shopping hub designed by Santiago Calatrava, “and be sure to stop by Eataly for gelato,” says Guest Services Manager Daniel Gomez.

Explore Chicago

This Midwestern metropolis comes alive during the summer and fall, an ideal weekend destination for all ages. Four Seasons Hotel Chicago is located on the Magnificent Mile, a perfect jumping-off point for the city’s top attractions.

“I always suggest families take advantage of the many waterfront activities available to them, whether it’s an architecture boat tour on the Chicago River, biking along the 18-mile Lakefront Trail or enjoying a meal at one of the many beach cafés,” says Chef Concierge Kristen Klus. When your family returns to the Hotel, schedule the popular ice cream cart service and surprise the kids with a make-your-own-sundae experience. The cherry on top? A cool-down in the Hotel’s 50-foot Roman-inspired pool.

When Sunday rolls around, start the day with a Sunday Side Up brunch at Allium Restaurant. “Fuel up and head to Lincoln Park Zoo, which is free 365 days a year,” says Executive Sous-Chef Tristan Baker. “Keeping on the animal theme, venture to the Shedd Aquarium, one of the first inland aquariums in the world with 32,000 animals.” Finish off the ideal weekend with a Ferris wheel ride at Navy Pier, showcasing wide-angle views of Chicago’s skyline and Lake Michigan.

Escape to Jackson Hole

What better place for a peaceful weekend retreat than Jackson Hole, Wyoming? “There is something truly magical about Jackson Hole,” says Director of Marketing Cory Carlson. “The vast mountains, the wide-open skies, the thriving wildlife and the night sky akin to an illuminated canopy of stars create lasting memories for the whole family.”

Photography courtesy Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

At Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole, kids can clamber around in the outdoor ropes course while parents enjoy the heated outdoor pool. From 5:00 to 8:00 pm, the whole family can head to the Commons for free live music (dancing is strongly encouraged). End the night with a kit for s’mores ready to be roasted by the outdoor fireplaces.

“Children of all ages can enjoy the wonder and beauty of the area,” says Chef Concierge and Member Les Clefs d’Or USA Hope Maloney, “whether on a hike in Grand Teton National Park, riding the aerial tram to the top of Rendezvous Mountain or seeing Old Faithful erupt.”

Directly outside your back door is the Wildflower Trail, an intermediate hike for families to enjoy together. And the national park is just a mile away – ask the Hotel can arrange for a local ranger to lead young visitors through and talk about wildlife preservation and safety.

Discover San Francisco

The Golden City is an ideal urban retreat, especially for travellers looking for moderate temperatures – almost surrounded by water, the city is often the coolest spot in California. As for the indoors, at Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco the family can spread out in connecting rooms or an executive suite. Make sure to ask for kid-size duvets and blankets, as well as popular in-room tents.

“From here, you’re well positioned for a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge,” says Chef Concierge Andreas Rippel, “as well as a post-museum trip to Lappert’s for ice cream.” He can round up advance tickets to the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, home to a four-storey rainforest and an aquarium that houses a 200,000-plus-gallon coral reef fish tank.

Close by, ascend the de Young Museum’s Hamon Tower – aspiring photographers can focus on the surrounding cityscape – and investigate the Koret Children’s Quarter Playground, where kids and grown-ups delight in trips down the jumbo concrete slides. By day’s end, those blankets and tents are going to look especially inviting.

Private Jet Journey: 5 Days in Vail and Jackson Hole

Posted on March 6, 2018April 9, 2024 by Katie Chang

Racing down Vail’s legendary Back Bowls in a pair of skis handmade just for you. Cruising along the Côte d’Azur behind the wheel of a classic vintage car. Setting sail in Lanai for an evening of stargazing and Polynesian mythology. Four Seasons and NetJets have come together to craft three extraordinary journeys, and you’re invited.

As I discovered during a recent trip to Vail and Jackson Hole, these itineraries manage to offer even more than the amazing adventures and careful service I expected. They are a roadmap to surprising discoveries about yourself and the world around you.

You’ll love the skiing, even if you’re a novice.

My trip began with a day of skiing at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Jackson Hole. I hadn’t hit the slopes in more than two decades, but my apprehension began to melt the moment I was whisked away to the Resort’s library – a setting that makes even mundane activities like getting fitted for skis feel like special occasions. In the privacy of the cosy space, I sank into a plush armchair next to a toasty fireplace and savoured a few light bites as my Ski Concierge made sure I had everything I needed for a day on the mountain.

With my gear sorted, I was ready to test my skills. My instructor, Katy Flanagan, couldn’t have been more patient, humorous or encouraging as I slowly wedged my way down the mountain, gradually building my confidence – and a little more finesse – with each pass. (She even took a video to document my progress.)

While rediscovering an old skill is quite the confidence boost itself, skiing alongside Olympic champion Tommy Moe – who took home Olympic gold and silver medals in 1994 – shot the already thrilling experience straight to the moon. After lunch, I felt so inspired by our session together that I decided to hit the slopes solo, which made for quite the adventurous afternoon.

It’s not just another ski trip.

Skiing might take top billing in this itinerary, but there’s plenty more to see and do. At Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole, go from the slopes to the stars for an exclusive evening with astrophysicist Ryan Hennessy.

After a dinner of smoked New York strip steak, from nearby Carter Country Meats and prepared by the Resort’s Chef Topher Strittmatter, we headed out to the Cottonwood Lawn. There, warmed by blankets, a crackling fire and out-of-this-world nightcaps, we learned how to identify stars and planets using one of Hennessy’s state-of-the-art telescopes.

I’ve never thought too much about the twinkling lights that make up the night sky, so to have an expert like Hennessy explain the light years between Earth and these celestial objects was a humbling and necessary reminder of how small we are in the universe.

But Jackson Hole doesn’t have a monopoly on natural wonders: At Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, I got to take in the snow-draped Colorado countryside from the back of a dog sled, courtesy of Winterhawk Dogsled Adventures. As soon as I stepped into the kennel and heard the howl of the Alaskan huskies – actually a mix of breeds, I learned – I could feel my heart start to pound. The 45-minute jaunt in the two-person sled was nothing short of exhilarating, with the pack of dogs swiftly guiding us over picturesque trails and terrain. While I chose to stay cosy in the sled for the duration, your musher can teach you the basics if you’d like to try your hand at driving.

Whether you’re in the air or on the ground, you’ll ride in style.

This was my first time on a private chartered aircraft, and I wasn’t sure what to expect – besides what I’d seen in movies, of course. The experience far surpassed my wildest expectations.

Four Seasons and NetJets ensure the entire experience is completely stress-free. All you have to do is board the plane and relax. As I sank back into the leather seat of my Challenger, the crew popped bottles of Veuve Clicquot and passed around light hors d’oeuvres – think cheese, popcorn and charcuterie. As a fellow passenger and I clinked our champagne glasses mid-flight, the only thing on my mind was how much fun we were having.

The pampering didn’t end when we landed: When we arrived in Colorado, we were greeted by a chauffeur offering refreshing oshibori towels and another flute of champagne.

Every detail is designed to whet your appetite for adventure.

During my first day in Vail, I was escorted by a guide from Vail Resorts via Gondola One up to Belle’s Camp, a hut perched at the top of Blue Sky Basin. There, Chef Marcus Stewart and his culinary team from Four Seasons Resort Vail were waiting, ready to treat our group to a lavish outdoor lunch. Though I was initially thrown by the rustic benches and tables, my confusion quickly turned to delight as we dug into the meal. We started with a spread of raw oysters, poached shrimp and caviar, and then warmed up with a creamy broccoli soup before feasting on succulent American Wagyu steaks fresh off the grill.

The culinary adventure continued that evening with an extravagant, multi-course dinner in Stewart’s kitchen at Flame, the Resort’s signature steakhouse. Watching servers whirl by with carts of food and trays of drinks was far more entertaining than any dinner theatre I’ve attended.

Back at Jackson Hole, the beloved tradition of après-ski takes on a whole new meaning with the Wyoming Whiskey Ceremony at the Resort’s The Handle Bar, where even the most astute of whisky enthusiasts will learn something new. As our waiter torched different garnishes, capturing the smoke and aromatics in the glass before pouring in a whisky, we quickly realized how subtle flavors can enhance the spirit’s flavour. The most surprising pairing was the combination of High West Silver Whisky and cinnamon smoke. The whisky already has subtle yet spicy cinnamon notes, so with the addition of the smoke the flavour only becomes warmer and more pronounced – arguably the perfect ending to a lovely day in the mountains.

Romantic Getaways Around the World

Posted on February 6, 2018March 18, 2021 by Alexandra Sheehan

There’s no bonding experience for couples quite like travelling the world and discovering the unfamiliar together.

Maybe you’re planning to celebrate a special occasion or simply want to spend quality time away from home. Where to go? One-of-a-kind romantic getaways can’t be had just anywhere. Consider an evening of stargazing in Jackson Hole, or a look at Lisbon from the seat of a vintage motorcycle. Here are eight dreamy destinations offering epic escapes.

Soak in Splendour in the Seychelles

Heat things up in your jungle-side villa at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles by climbing into a deep-soaking tub overlooking a wrap-around infinity pool and Petite Anse bay – a haven for romantics, marked by picturesque sunsets and powdery sand. Say the word and the Resort’s Bath Butler will prepare your bath, where you can soak in eucalyptus-scented and ylang ylang–infused water as you sip Champagne and feed one another fresh strawberries. “This is truly an unparalleled setting for couples to enjoy indulgent relaxation together,” says Jean Malubdos, Assistant Spa Manager, “and they may choose from a menu of bath rituals to suit their mood.”

Swim Under the Stars in Maui

Guests at Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea don’t have to go far to find romance. With the Resort’s Serenity Pool After Hours package, reserve the adults-only pool to swim under the stars and enjoy a private dinner together. From dusk until dawn, the entire 2,650-square-foot (246-square-metre) pool is all yours, as well as the six luxury cabanas outfitted with flat-screen HD TVs.

Another sweet exploit at the Resort appeals to food-focused duos: In the Taste of Island Life experience, couples will ride a helicopter to ONO Organic Farms for a private tour and exotic fruit tasting alongside the farm’s long-time owners. Afterwards, swim in nearby waterfalls and explore black sand beaches before heading back for a delicious finale: a multi-course dinner, made from favourite fruits from the ONO farms. “One of the best ways to connect is by experiencing new things together,” says Chef Concierge Sam Wilhelm. “A Taste of Island Life is perfect for couples who love food and adventure. And because this particular experience is set in Hana, where I grew up, it has a special place in my heart. I love sharing this magical town with couples looking for a once-in-a-lifetime culinary adventure.”

Capture Instagrammable Photos in Lisbon

Photography courtesy Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

Guests at Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon can capture the European charm of Portugal’s capital city during a private four-hour photography tour aboard a vintage motorcycle. Take a seat in the sidecar or directly behind your expert driver, and a professional photographer will lead you through winding cobblestone streets to the city’s top sites.

“The Pombaline-style architecture, the terra cotta rooftops and azulejo façades, the glorious Tagus river and the 25th of April suspension bridge are some of Lisbon’s most appealing features,” says Head Concierge Luis Miguel. His advice: Book the tour for early morning to make use of Lisbon’s prettiest light. At any time of day, though, “It’s the most authentic way to discover the city’s many fascinating twists and turns, hotspots and history.”

Have a Celestial Picnic in Scottsdale

There are few more charming sights for couples than starry skies. At Four Seasons Resort Scottsdale at Troon North, you can ask the Resort’s professional astronomer to join you – or simply borrow a telescope – to take in an unbelievable view of the Sonoran Desert skies during your own night-time picnic. “Set apart from the city lights in the desert foothills, this is an ideal spot to sip a cocktail and view a spectacular sunset, and then watch as twinkling stars begin to blanket the sky,” says Resort Concierge Susy Alpert. “It’s magical.”

Yacht Together in Bora Bora

Photography courtesy Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

Honeymooners and long-married couples alike are flocking to the overwater bungalow suites with plunge pools at Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora – but we’ll wager they won’t spend all their time in their rooms. Among the myriad special experiences for two offered at the Resort: chartering its Andreyale yachts for sailing the surrounding turquoise lagoons in view of Mount Otemanu. “One of the most memorable and romantic experiences couples can share in Bora Bora is a private sunset cruise,” says Etienne Baldeschi, Chef Concierge. “Your captain will anchor for the island’s ideal sunset viewing, and your bespoke menu is served.”Think Champagne and canapés – such as Tahitian Poisson Cru and Moorea shrimp with crispy gyoza. “We can also arrange for a musician, and a photographer or videographer to capture the magic of this special excursion.” As you sail, keep an eye out for spotted eagle rays, sea turtles and blacktip reef sharks in the glass-clear waters below.

Savour the Sunset in Bali

Few things are more romantic than a tropical sunset – except, perhaps, a tropical sunset cruise for two. Set sail from Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay and enjoy the view as you sip Champagne and nibble on canapés. Afterwards, return to shore for an intimate four-course dinner in a gazebo overlooking the ocean or unwind in The Longevity Garden in the Resort’s new Healing Village Spa – this private, open-air treatment room is a serene space where couples can pamper each other with body wraps, infrared sun lounges, and steam and sauna rooms.

Stargaze Mountainside in Jackson Hole

Photography courtesy Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

“There is something magical about travelling to Jackson Hole. The proximity to the mountains and access to wildlife and the vast open skies creates an intimate connection to one’s surroundings,” says Hope Maloney, Chef Concierge. Activities with romantic potential abound at Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole, including elk-drawn sleigh rides in the National Elk Refuge, a pause for sipping bubbly in the Resort’s Champagne bar and guided snowshoe tours of Grand Teton National Park. “But what could be better than enjoying a night of stargazing, huddled under the warmth of blankets, sipping hot cocoa and viewing other galaxies, nebulas and beyond?” Answer: All that with the addition of a discreet astronomer, who will point out the most impressive constellations as you cuddle.

Escape to Lake Como in Milan

Photography courtesy Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts

Travel back in time, and in style, behind the driver’s seat of a vintage Italian roadster as you set out from Four Seasons Hotel Milan. Channel Cary Grant in To Catch a Thief as you drive around scenic Lake Como in a vintage 1960s convertible, spotting lakeside villas, ancient villages and cinematic landscapes from the classic car. Bonus: You can pull over at your leisure to take in the view – and perhaps the view is of your happy, relaxed partner.
